Pantethine as an intermediate in the conversion of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) to Coenzyme A plays an important role in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Due to people’s lifestyle changes resulting i. a.
Panthenol is a provitamin of Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), part of the B-complex group, is present in all living cells and is a constituent of coenzyme A. The critical function of this coenzyme is to act as a carrier in acetylation reactions (Krebs cycle).
Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride is a clear to stratified liquid, a conditioner that combines Provitamin B5, with a long-chain quaternary.
Panthenyl triacetate is an acetylated derivative of Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid or Panthenol), that is more stable against hydrolysis in the product and oil-soluble which enables incorporation in oil-based formulations.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) is a precursor of the coenzymes involved in more than 100 different metabolic pathways, including energy metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, and the synthesis of lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, porphyrins, and hemoglobin.
Papain is produced from the milky latex of all papaya parts but especially in the green, unripe fruits by scarification of the skin of the fruit and inducing latex flow.
Papain, one of the active enzymes in papaya, has antimicrobial properties. Papaya can help reduce edema, may discourage clotting, and promotes wound healing, and the active enzymes also mildly exfoliate the skin.
Passiflora Edulis Seed Oils PEG-8 Esters is a hydro-dispersible emollient based on natural oil from the passion fruit. It is also known under the trade name Hydramazon Passiflora.
PCA Dimethicone is an isomer of the natural moisturizing factor "PCA" covalently bonded to a silicone backbone. It is designed for easy addition to leave-on and rinse-off conditioning and cleansing products.
PCA Ethyl Cocoyl Arginate is a cationic surfactant derived from L-Arginine (an amino acid), coconut oil fatty acid, ethyl alcohol, and PCA (a natural moisturizing factor: NMF). It is characterized as a conditioning agent mild to the skin and eyes.
A symbol of beauty worn by royalty for thousands of years, the pearl is a traditional symbol of luxury and opulence. In Asia, pearl is used for more than ornamentation and decoration; it is a conventional medicine used for cosmetics.
PEG-10 Dimethicone is an excellent silicone-based surfactant for all classes of personal care formulas, particularly well suited in skin care. Specially designed for Silicone-in-Water emulsions, it is more hydrophobic and film-forming than PEG-11 Methyl Ether Dimethicone.
PEG-11 Methyl Ether Dimethicone is an excellent silicone-based surfactant for all classes of personal care formulas, particularly well suited in skin care. Specially designed for mixed oil-in-water emulsions, it is more hydrophilic and less film-forming than PEG-10 Dimethicone.
PEG-12 Dimethicone is a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyoxyalkylene ether. This combination gives this type of ingredient unique properties. It is clear to hazy and colorless to straw liquid.
PEG-5 Oleylamine Methosulfate is a light yellow-cream liquid with a characteristic odor, an easy-to-use organic quaternary ammonium compound, compatible for use in anionic systems and, therefore, “2 in 1” formulations.
PEG-8 Dimethicone is a nonionic silicone wax, a water-soluble dimethicone polyethyleneglycol block copolymer. It is a white wax with a melting point of 36 – 49°C. Its former designation was Dimethicone Copolyol.
PEG/PPG-25/25 Dimethicone/Acrylates Copolymer is a product of a reaction of t-butyl acrylate, methacrylic acid, and dimethicone copolyol, an anionic film-forming agent with silicone surfactant for hair setting.
Pentapeptide-29 Cysteinamide is a synthetic hexapeptide derived from keratin (a part of protein amino acid sequence Arg-Ser-Phe-Ser-Ala-Cys) with a terminal Cysteine.
Pentavitin® is a complex of vegetable carbohydrates capable of binding and retaining moisture in the skin for a long time. Vegetable carbohydrates are very similar in composition to carbohydrates in the upper layer of the epidermis.
Persea Gratissima Oil Unsaponifiables is the fraction of avocado oil that is not saponified in the refining recovery of avocado oil fatty acids. It contains about 30% of phytosterols, mainly Sitosterol, Campesterol, and Stigmasterol.
Phenyl Trimethicone is a phenyl-substituted silicone fluid. It is a clear, viscous liquid polymer with a good refractive index of 1.498 and chemical stability against oxidation.
Phytantriol compound with three hydroxyl groups on one side and a long saturated hydrocarbon chain on the other side of the molecule. It is a slightly yellowish transparent viscous liquid with a characteristic faintly sweetish odor at room temperature.
Phytosphingosine is plant-derived sphingosine an integral part of ceramides and naturally occurring in the skin. It boosts repair processes in damaged skin. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which help soothe skin irritation and support a healthy skin barrier.
